Ok thank you. I have cut glass before for sump baffles and a smaller tank it’s the 6x5 foot cut that sketches me outI made my sump out of a couple of old pieces of window glass. The longer cuts seemed to be easier. I made sure the cut / etch went all the way to the each edge of the pane and placed the cut line right at the edge of a table. Holding the table side piece down with weight and very lightly with clamps, I was able to snap a pretty straight line for all the sides and bottom pieces. The baffles work very well to support / brace the front to the back. I polished mine with good ol sand paper. Not something I have sitting out for the world to see. Just me.
Best of luck!
How long was the cut?So, use this at your own risk but I just cut a 1/4” thick piece of glass using a tile saw and a high quality diamond saw blade. Cut through it fairly effortlessly with a fairly clean cut.
Hey sorry I haven’t responded sooner I’m not getting notifications anymore.How long was the cut?
That’s fine, I tried cutting it and I made the 5x6 foot piece break into like twenty pieces after all the failed cuts then it cracked up along it. Now I need to get rid of it and then I have another piece I can get but I’m gonna have someone else cut itHey sorry I haven’t responded sooner I’m not getting notifications anymore.
I did three cuts at 17” but there’s no doubt I could have gone longer

I ended up using a glass cutter that you use to score itAgh sorry it didn’t work out. What did you end up using? a tile saw?
Okay I see. Sorry it didn’t work out. I also saw a thread on here where someone used a hand held tile saw to slice a 40b to make a shallow frag tank. If I find it I’ll share it with you.I ended up using a glass cutter that you use to score it
